hi all I need an edelbrock intake manifold for a 4 bbl carb to somewhat hopefully match the one my friend has on a car I am building a model of for him. here are a couple photos of it. if anyone knows of anything like this out in the resin/aftermarket world, please let me know. I am pretty well convinced nothing like this ever came in a plastic kit, but if you know otherwise please let me know about that as well. many thanks in advance!

If you still can't find the intake, look in any of the old NASCAR kits. Looks a lot like the intake in the Polar Lights #43 Petty Torino.

hey thanks all, Jeremy I can't text you but I sent you a PM, get back to me if you can, otherwise I will try to locate that Petty kit.

sorry about the stupid misspelling...it was my dyslexia attacking!

All of the Revell/Monogram NASCAR kits have this style (single plane) intake manifolds, but in 1/24 scale,the ASA Camaro kits are in 1/25 scale, and the kits that had the V-8 engines and not the V-6's actually had the Victor intake, but I have all my open ones boxed, so I can't verify the Edelbrock name on them.

the Edelbrock name would not be necessary on the part I need and actually 1/24 or 1/25 would not make a big difference. I have a couple leads already but if they don't turn out I will check into those NASCAR kits (may have one buried somewhere but they were never my interest). thanks for the replys and leads!

>VGC Resins has it for Chevy.

thanks. happen to have a link or a contact for them? a quick google of it didn't bring up a site.

thanks again, already have a lead but don't mind checking out another,

>Since you're building a replica, have you got any idea where to find the Heartbeat of America valve covers?

that was going to be my next question!

I found some that were close in my parts box and I am either going to ignore or perhaps decal the text on them.
